i) Kinetic energy of photoelectrons depends on the frequency of incident radiations and is independent of the intensity of illumination.
ii) A number of photoelectrons depend upon the intensity.

As the number of photons is proportional to intensity of radiation, when intensity is doubled, number of photons will become doubled i.e  2N .
Since the maximum kinetic does not depend on intensity of the radiation so it will remain same i.e T.
